My wishlist has a few games that I’m really looking forward to, but which have relatively little hype behind them. Even on their Steam discussion forums, there’s maybe 6 threads and none of them recent. I’m wondering what else I might be missing!

    Thanks for asking! Here’s a list (all links are Steam Store links)

    Death of the Reprobate - I highly recommend this guy’s previous games, which use the same style. Genuinely the funniest games I’ve ever played.

    Still Wakes the Deep - Upcoming horror game from The Chinese Room.

    Old Skies - New adventure game from the current masters of the art, Wadjet Eye Games.

    Dead Static Drive - Not quite sure how to describe it better than the dev does - “Grand Theft Cthulhu”.

    Nine Sols - A new game from the developers of Detention and the excellent-but-review-bombed Devotion, RedCandleGames. This one will be a hand-drawn 2D soulslike.

    Guinea Pig Parkour - 2D platformer using hand-drawn animation, with heavy emphasis on a 1990s aesthetic.

    Miegakure - 4D puzzle game. I think this is talked about quite a bit, but nowhere near as much as it deserves.

    CONSCRIPT - A 2D survival horror, with an isometric view and pixel graphics, set during WWI.

    REMEDIUM - Twin stick shooter from a dev whose previous games are also excellent but flew under the radar.

    Phonopolis - Amanita Design’s new game (they previously made Machinarium). The art style alone is making me excited to get my hands on it!

    I have dozens more like this on my wishlist, but I think 10 is enough for now haha.
